The sudden change caused several elders who were guarding the bed to immediately gather around him.
They sighed softly in front of his nose, and couldn't help but panic: "Ancestor...he is dead!!"
Several elders were in chaos as if the sky was falling.
Shouts and cries mixed together.
Kneel down, prostrate, and scatter all over the place.
There was chaos on the field.
"How could my ancestor die? He was fine just now!"
"Is it a problem with the medicine?"
"Xia Qingchen, there must be something wrong with Xia Qingchen's medicine!"
Everyone witnessed that after the ancestor drank the medicine, he immediately vomited blood and died.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on Xia Qingchen, all with doubts.
As the Great Elder, Gong Lianglin was not alarmed by any changes. He quickly calmed down and shouted: "Calm down, everyone!"
There was wisdom and calmness in his eyes.
"If Grandmaster Xia wanted to take the life of the ancestor, would there be any need to poison him? All he had to do was watch from the sidelines, and the ancestor would be seriously injured and die."
After drinking this, several elders lost their doubts.
Indeed, it probably wasn't Xia Qingchen's doing.
It's just that there was an explosion during the refining process first, and then he died after being fed medicine.
Xia Qingchen was involved both times.
It is really hard to believe that he has no suspicion at all.
Especially the elders who had not participated in the refining of the Nirvana Vessel were already grudges in their hearts.
"Let's check the cause of our ancestor's death first." Gong Lianglin steeled himself and investigated carefully.
After a while, he said with a sad face: "It should be that the mental trauma intensified and he died suddenly."
Hearing this, the elders in the house mourned one after another.
Gong Lianglin wiped his wet eyes and said: "Please spread the funeral cry of our ancestor's sudden death. We must prepare for our ancestor's funeral."
The ancestor of one of the four great families died.
That was an incident that shocked the entire Tianyue Ridge. All the major holy places and aristocratic families would definitely come to express their condolences.
The news spread quickly.
The entire Gonglianggu clan was in a state of shock, sad and at a loss.
The incident happened suddenly and they were completely unprepared.
So that the clan fell into chaos.
Even the patrols made many mistakes.
In some corner.
The eighth elder said with a comfortable smile on his face: "I finally died, much earlier than I expected."
Next to him was Gong Liangni, who said anxiously: "Eighth Elder, what are you going to do next?"
It's impossible, just to kill the ancestor, right?
That won't do him any good.
"Haha, my ancestor has an ancient artifact that he obtained thousands of years ago. It is related to the secrets of the Shenxu. The Shura family really wants to get it." The eighth elder stared at Gong Liangni.
"Ancestor has always valued you, do you know where Ancestor hid the ancient objects?"
At that time, the divine ruins came to Tianyue Ridge.
Four ancient aristocratic families teamed up to explore the secrets and accidentally discovered a broken sword.
The broken sword broke into four pieces.
The ancestor of the Shura family, an unparalleled powerhouse at the star level.
Trying to swallow the broken sword fragments.
As a result, just as he rolled up the fragments, he was killed on the spot by the cold sword energy that unexpectedly burst out from the fragments.
Everything within a thousand feet nearby was razed to the ground by the sword energy!
The ancestors of the Baihua Family, the Situ Family and the Gongliang Family who joined the fight were all seriously injured.
Not long after escaping from the Shenxu, they died one after another.
The vitality of the four major Gu clans was severely damaged.
It took hundreds of years for it to recover, regain its original peak, and a new generation of the Four Ancestors appeared.
However, the four great Gu clans could not forget the catastrophe that was comparable to a disaster thousands of years ago.
Later, we went deep into the ruins again.
They spent a lot of effort and finally successfully controlled the four fragments and each took charge of one.
Later, after their research, they discovered that this broken sword was actually related to the deepest mystery of Shenxu.
Only by recasting the broken sword can one enter the depths of the ruins.
Find the land of the fallen gods!
Gong Liangxi thought for a long time and said: "I seem to have heard my ancestor say that there is a secret vault in the fire well. It needs the keys of my father, the second elder, the third elder and the fourth elder to open it together. I wonder if what is hidden inside is what you said.
thing."
The eighth elder's pupils shrank slightly.
"definitely is!"
Only the terrifying fire energy of the fire well can offset the terrifying sword energy of the broken sword fragments.
However, the four keys needed are still in the hands of Gong Lianglin and others.
He alone is no match for them.
"We can only ask the Shura family to take action." The eighth elder said slowly: "Now that our ancestor is dead, the Gongliang Gu family no longer poses a big threat."
Gongliangni clenched his fist and asked: "Eighth Elder, why did you betray the Gongliang family and join the Shura family?"
With his position, wealth, and position, what can he gain?
The eighth elder showed a trace of yearning and obsession: "For eternal life!"
"Eternal life? Eighth Elder, are you crazy? Where can there be eternal life in the world?" Gong Liangni said incredulously.
The eighth elder shook his head deeply and said: "There is a Shura family! I have personally seen a being who has lived for a thousand years!"
Gongliang Ni took a deep breath, his eyes full of disbelief.
His heart was also pounding.
No wonder the Eighth Elder was so tempted.
Even a young man like him is attracted by immortality, let alone the Eighth Elder who is already old and suffering from heart failure?
"I will ask the Eighth Elder to support me in the future!" Gong Liangni completely determined to join the Shura Family.
After a pause, Gong Liangni's eyes turned cold and he said, "Eighth Elder, can we get rid of that Xia Qingchen?"
"Of course!" The eighth elder's eyes flashed sharply: "I have received news that he ruined the plan to seize the evil god's residual limbs on Demon Suppression Island, and the head of the family is very angry about this."
"Then I'll kill him?" Gong Liangni said harshly.
He felt that Xia Qingchen was too dazzling.
If you don’t get rid of it, you won’t be happy!
"Wait a minute!" the Eighth Elder said, "It would be too suspicious for you and me to do it now, so we should ask someone else to do it."
"who?"
"Of course it's your cousin, Gong Liangjing."
Hearing this, Gong Liangni clicked his tongue.
Gong Liangjing is the eldest daughter of the Gongliang family and is already twenty years old.
His cultivation has reached the eighth level of the minor star level.
Not only that, he has an extremely cruel personality.
Gong Liangyun, who was known for his fiery temper, was nothing compared to a big witch in front of her.
"If you tell Gong Liangjing that the ancestor's death was caused by Xia Qingchen, what do you think she will do?" The eighth elder smiled half-heartedly.
Gongliang Ni was relieved and smiled sinisterly: "He will die miserably! I will be happy to tell her this task!"
…
Xia Qingchen calmly returned to his room.
Qiuqiu and Lianxing were in the room, walking back and forth uneasily.
"Master Chen, I heard the maid passing by outside say that Patriarch Gongliang is dead?" Lianxing asked worriedly.
Xia Qingchen chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, everything is under control."
Control?
Lian Xing frowned and said, "If you are a sensible Gongliang clan member, then it's okay. If you are ignorant, I'm afraid it will embarrass Xia Lang, so why don't we leave now."
"Let's go?" Xia Qingchen said calmly: "After leaving Gongliang's mansion, where can we find such a superior training environment as Huojing?"
"Let's go, you all will practice with me and avoid the limelight."
Her worries are not unnecessary.
On the way back just now, there were more than one or two Gongliang clan members who showed hostility to him.
Later.
After asking Gong Lianglin for instructions, the three of them successfully arrived at the fire well.
Come here again.
Xia Qingchen suddenly felt a tingling pain in her body.
That was the fire that accumulated in the body during the last practice.
"There's some trouble." Xia Qingchen frowned slightly.
If fire energy accumulates too much in the body, it will gradually evolve into fire poison.
